Brawl was... ok. Not my cup of tea. Even before I knew about wavedashing, L-canceling and the like, I still preferred most of what Melee had (except Adventure mode) over what Brawl had.

I suppose as of recently, I would be considered a Melee elitist most likely, but even before I picked up Melee again, I would've said Brawl was just ok from a casual stand point. I had way more fun with Melee and enjoyed it more as a casual experience than Brawl tbh.

I prefer Melee myself,  but I still love Brawl, I never understood the hate for it.

Most of the hate was because Brawl had a lot of the "Complexities" (read: programming quirks) removed, so that there were less techniques required to learn. A lot of people felt that made it a lot more casual, and more of a party game compared to Melee, which they were/are both intended to be when they were in development. Plus, not a lot of people were happy about the changes that individual characters got, so the players ended up being fractured on the issue.

I always liked Brawl, arguably more than Melee, but to each there own, I guess.
